The beauty and care market in Romania was estimated at over 950 million EUR in 2011 and the forecasts on the sector’s development are optimistic. The increasing trend of the sector is expected to continue in the next years, based on the opening of new stores, the launching of new brands and the fact that the consumers will be better informed. The annual consumption of cosmetics and personal care products in Romania is estimated to record a growing rate of over 10% in the next years. The Romanian market of derma- cosmetics is estimated at 30 million EUR, with some 1.5 million products having been sold in 2011.

The multinational companies hold some 85% of the market, in terms of volume, while the Romanian producers (such as Farmec, Elmiplant or Genmar) have a share of some 15%.
